The Escapists Arrives On PS4 In June, No Plans For Vita Release
The pixelated prison escape simulator is coming to PlayStation 4 next month.
On June 2, the game will be available for $19.99 with DLC based on Alcatraz available for $2.99. In the game, players must work out how to escape from a collection of six different prisons in an assortment of different ways. Responding to comments on the PlayStation Blog's post about the game, publisher Team17 wrote, "No plans for Vita I’m afraid," when asked about Sony's other platform.
For our review of The Escapists on Xbox One where Kimberly Wallace wrote, "The Escapists implores you to dig deep for your strategy, but it doesn't offer enough excitement along the way," head here. The game is also available on Steam and Xbox One.

Our Take
I'm a big fan of the Vita, so I am always disappointed to see games not make it the platform, especially games that seem like they would work pretty well on it.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
